What Is an Opportunity Zone In SFR Investing?
An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where new investments may be eligible for preferential tax treatment.
An opportunity zone represents an economically-distressed locality nominated by states and certified by the Treasury Department (via IRS delegation). Qualified investments meeting specific conditions receive preferential tax treatment.
This differs from 1031 exchanges in that opportunity zone investments involve gains from previous investments directed to opportunity funds, rather than requiring reinvestment of entire sale proceeds.
